Mum-of-eight arrested after ‘offering her kids as sexual prizes during poker games at House of Horrors’

A MUM-of-eight has been arrested after allegedly offering four of her children as sexual prizes during poker games she organised at her home.

The 29-year-old was held along with five males including four teens after neighbours alerted police and organised roadblocks to stop the suspects fleeing.

The sick card games are said to have occurred at a slum dwelling in the northern Argentinian city of General Guemes which is now being dubbed the ‘House of Horror.’

One emotional neighbour told local paper El Tribuno yesterday she had recorded one of the children being “raped” on her mobile phone from outside the property to get police to respond.

Another said: “We put someone on each corner of the House of Horror so they couldn’t escape and then we went to get the police.”

The children, one a girl said to be just three years old, have been taken into care.

Prosecutors have confirmed the unnamed mum has been charged with crimes of prostitution and corruption of minors.

A man aged 33 and four teenagers aged 13 to 15 are being investigated on suspicion of rape.

It has not been made clear what relationship if any exists between the mum and the other suspects.

Police seized blood-stained mattresses, alcohol, cigarettes and cards from the precarious tarpaulin slum the poverty-stricken children called home in a part of General Guemes called Nueva Esperanza - which in English translates as ‘New Hope.’

A spokesman for Salta’s state prosecution service said: “Several neighbours have said the children were being sexually exploited during card games their mother participated in.”

A local who asked not to be named told El Tribuno: “If the mum lost the card games, the children had to take their clothes off so they could be sexually abused.

“If the woman won at cards, she would keep the money the others bet with.”

The ‘House of Horror’ mum is said to have built her slum dwelling around six months ago.

Neighbours have described her as an alcoholic and said her kids were often abandoned or left to beg for food.

The arrests took place after three nights of problems at the weekend which are said to have involved physical as well as sexual violence.

Another neighbour quoted by El Tribuno said: “One woman heard how a girl of 10 was being raped.

“She was crying while her mum was trying to calm her down saying it was going to hurt but she should put up with it.

“That neighbour didn’t have a phone and couldn’t ring anyone.

“The abuse took place on the Saturday.

“On Sunday five males arrived. Two men and three minors brought alcohol and were playing cards. That’s when we heard them playing to see who were going to end up raping the children."
